Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,

supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes

* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)

logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements

resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user

the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements

resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support

If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:

There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support

To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling

If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'

If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support

If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational

There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)

logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait

Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait

Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)

reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support

To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling

If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or

No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user

adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive

Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works

Optimize complex combinational logic in DFG (#6298)
This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

This patch adds DfgLogic, which is a vertex that represents a whole,
arbitrarily complex combinational AstAlways or AstAssignW in the
DfgGraph.
Implementing this requires computing the variables live at entry to the
AstAlways (variables read by the block), so there is a new
ControlFlowGraph data structure and a classical data-flow analysis based
live variable analysis to do that at the variable level (as opposed to
bit/element level).
The actual CFG construction and live variable analysis is best effort,
and might fail for currently unhandled constructs or data types. This
can be extended later.
V3DfgAstToDfg is changed to convert the Ast into an initial DfgGraph
containing only DfgLogic, DfgVertexSplice and DfgVertexVar vertices.
The DfgLogic are then subsequently synthesized into primitive operations
by the new V3DfgSynthesize pass, which is a combination of the old
V3DfgAstToDfg conversion and new code to handle AstAlways blocks with
complex flow control.
V3DfgSynthesize by default will synthesize roughly the same constructs
as V3DfgAstToDfg used to handle before, plus any logic that is part of a
combinational cycle within the DfgGraph. This enables breaking up these
cycles, for which there are extensions to V3DfgBreakCycles in this patch
as well. V3DfgSynthesize will then delete all non synthesized or non
synthesizable DfgLogic vertices and the rest of the Dfg pipeline is
identical, with minor changes to adjust for the changed representation.
Because with this change we can now eliminate many more UNOPTFLAT, DFG
has been disabled in all the tests that specifically target testing the
scheduling and reporting of circular combinational logic.

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or

Timing support (#3363)
Adds timing support to Verilator. It makes it possible to use delays,
event controls within processes (not just at the start), wait
statements, and forks.
Building a design with those constructs requires a compiler that
supports C++20 coroutines (GCC 10, Clang 5).
The basic idea is to have processes and tasks with delays/event controls
implemented as C++20 coroutines. This allows us to suspend and resume
them at any time.
There are five main runtime classes responsible for managing suspended
coroutines:
* `VlCoroutineHandle`, a wrapper over C++20's `std::coroutine_handle`
with move semantics and automatic cleanup.
* `VlDelayScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by delays. It resumes
them at a proper simulation time.
* `VlTriggerScheduler`, for coroutines suspended by event controls. It
resumes them if its corresponding trigger was set.
* `VlForkSync`, used for syncing `fork..join` and `fork..join_any`
blocks.
* `VlCoroutine`, the return type of all verilated coroutines. It allows
for suspending a stack of coroutines (normally, C++ coroutines are
stackless).
There is a new visitor in `V3Timing.cpp` which:
* scales delays according to the timescale,
* simplifies intra-assignment timing controls and net delays into
regular timing controls and assignments,
* simplifies wait statements into loops with event controls,
* marks processes and tasks with timing controls in them as
suspendable,
* creates delay, trigger scheduler, and fork sync variables,
* transforms timing controls and fork joins into C++ awaits
There are new functions in `V3SchedTiming.cpp` (used by `V3Sched.cpp`)
that integrate static scheduling with timing. This involves providing
external domains for variables, so that the necessary combinational
logic gets triggered after coroutine resumption, as well as statements
that need to be injected into the design eval function to perform this
resumption at the correct time.
There is also a function that transforms forked processes into separate
functions.
See the comments in `verilated_timing.h`, `verilated_timing.cpp`,
`V3Timing.cpp`, and `V3SchedTiming.cpp`, as well as the internals
documentation for more details.

Support #0 delays with IEEE-1800 compliant semantics (#7079)
This patch adds IEEE-1800 compliant scheduling support for the Inactive
scheduling region used for #0 delays.
Implementing this requires that **all** IEEE-1800 active region events
are placed in the internal 'act' section. This has simulation
performance implications. It prevents some optimizations (e.g.
V3LifePost), which reduces single threaded performance. It also reduces
the available work and parallelism in the internal 'nba' section, which
reduced the effectiveness of multi-threading severely.
Performance impact on RTLMeter when using scheduling adjusted to support
proper #0 delays is ~10-20% slowdown in single-threaded mode, and ~100%
(2x slower) with --threads 4.
To avoid paying this performance penalty unconditionally, the scheduling
is only adjusted if either:
1. The input contains a statically known #0 delay
2. The input contains a variable #x delay unknown at compile time
If no #0 is present, but #x variable delays are, a ZERODLY warning is
issued advising the use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' which is a promise
by the user that none of the variable delays will evaluate to a zero
delay at run-time. This warning is turned off if '--sched-zero-delay'
is explicitly given. This is similar to the '--timing' option.
If '--no-sched-zero-delay' was used at compile time, then executing
a zero delay will fail at runtime.
A ZERODLY warning is also issued if a static #0 if found, but the user
specified '--no-sched-zero-delay'. In this case the scheduling is not
adjusted to support #0, so executing it will fail at runtime. Presumably
the user knows it won't be executed.
The intended behaviour with all this is the following:
No #0, no #var in the design (#constant is OK)
-> Same as current behaviour, scheduling not adjusted,
same code generated as before
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is NOT given:
-> No warnings, scheduling adjusted so it just works, runs slow
Has static #0 and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #0, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if hit
No static #0, but has #var and no option is given:
-> ZERODLY on the #var advising use of '--no-sched-zero-delay' or
'--sched-zero-delay' (similar to '--timing'), scheduling adjusted
assuming it can be a zero delay and it just works
No static #0, but has #var and '--no-sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling not adjusted, fails at runtime if zero delay
No static #0, but has #var and '--sched-zero-delay' is given:
-> No warning, scheduling adjusted so it just works
